TeamAlice is a group of people who know Alice Pointer. 

Alice was diagnosed with lupus 8 years ago after being seriously ill with meningitis, sepsis, a blood clot and double pneumonia (all at the same time!) Over the past 8 years, Alice has been on a range of medication, including chemo based injections, anti malarial tablets, immune suppressants, steroids and anti-rejection transplant drugs. Unfortunately these haven't had the desired effect. To help with pain, Alice is on morphine medications.

For Alice, the main symptoms of her lupus are joint pain and swelling due to inflammation, fatigue, hair loss, memory issues, mouth ulcers, butterfly rash and a skin rash on arms due to sunlight.

TeamAlice has been together over a number of years and have raised over £20,000. To raise this money we have run marathons, done santa dash's, played pub games, barn danced, held auctions and raffles. This year we are continuing to throw ourselves into new challenges to make you reach into your pockets and sponsor us.

The Hibbs Lupus Trust, is a charity close to our hearts. They have helped Alice and her family over the past 8 years. From support with understanding her diagnosis to providing the opportunity to listen to and question specialists in numerous areas related to lupus. 

The Hibbs Lupus Trust supports people affected by lupus to make sure that no one faces lupus alone. We provide support and information to anybody affected by or concerned about lupus. Lupus is a chronic and presently incurable illness of the immune system. Rather than just fighting viruses, bacteria and infection by producing antibodies, your body starts to attack and destroy healthy cells, tissues and organs.
